Stories from Melmoth · South Africa

Authorities allege a suspect broke into a home, tied up victims, and kidnapped two children and three relatives last Tuesday. These incidents are contributing to increased congestion in the Lisbon area. On the IC19 toward Lisbon, an accident near Sete Rios has resulted in queues extending from Alto do Carmo toward Alfragide. Access to Loures is also being affected by the congestion. The suspect is accused of being part of an Islamic State cell. The arrest followed a tip-off from the CIA and resulted in the cancellation of three sold-out concerts expected to draw 200,000 attendees. Nearly 200,000 expected attendees were impacted by the short-notice cancellations in Melmoth. The event had a financial impact on the city. A second person is also currently on trial alongside him. A two-year-old child died after being struck by a minibus in Tarsus, Mersin.
